Lolz

na diaspora money dem won thief na - dem don clean local people own finish - ozuor

Finally, people are working in that place. It seems animals were doing most of the thinking previously.

Typing:
The same CBN that destroyed this economy?

no mind dem - they are falling for the new ponzi by the tax master druggie

Olachase:
How about we at home

How can I report access bank to CBN? Every month deduction of card maintenance and MSG alert

Funniest part I don't have their card 🫡🫡

The deduction of those abroad will be x10. You think the government doesn't know what they are out to get from this?

go to any of the branches and lay complaint.

When the results of this commonsense but not common policies start manifesting, you will wail propaganda uncontrollably. It's pathetic.

DavidOdia2025:
I hope this truly works as planned. The idea sounds promising and could really ease the stress for many of us abroad.

Come and carry me to abroad oo.
KingDavid

Next thing to do is remove all the unnecessary bank charges

Akano5:
I'm in Nigeria, but I thought Diasporans doesn't give a damn about NL😂

Until today which prove me wrong

Nairaland was the major source of news and entertainment to a lot of diasporans and locals back in the day. Even though the quality of engagement has dropped, there is still a lot to gain here. I for one won't be leaving anytime soon

columbus007:
I am in deep shock to see most NLs playing to the game, they all lived abroad and that's very interesting.

Most of those guys that first commented are probably in the same room commenting positively one after the other, or they may be accounts under the control of just one or two people

You're very right

This is a very welcome development 👌👍

The banks will still charge you mercilessly

na today ? with the nonsense that happened at Oceanic Bank under Ibru and recently in GTBank with customer deposits disappearing

without explanation - and D so-called EFCC and Attorney General is keeping quiet, not making bold statements to allay the fears of customers

setting up investigations -- is a recipe for disaster - who get time and power to drag money with government ponzi - schemers in Nigeria ?

When we criticize the Judiciary for being in the pocket of the APC - you people here call us wailers

How can I be confident that IF an APC stalwart pulls a ponzi on my hard earned $$$ in Nigeria - that the Wike-Judiciary will give me Justice?

This will now ease the stress for many of us Abroad in Togo.

Thank you CBN

After God. Its Tinubu

So many bot accounts o that first page.

Does it mean I can now make payment with any of my 🏧 ATM card during a travel trip 🤔

All this na only rich people upward e affect, too much frame work grammar

Although this is a good development, it is quite late now, as there are now a lot of Fintechs working in this space. Have apps like Lemonade/Lemfi that allows you to maintain a Naira balance and I'm sure others at there, who needs to have a traditional naira account if they're not in Nigeria?

Can’t make me save money in Naira - a proven unstable currency.

Many apps exist that has helped render all my Nigeria bank accounts useless and dormant.

This initiative won’t make me reactivate my dormant accounts!

Last time I checked Access Bank and GTB have been doing diaspora banking for almost a decade now.

Honestly.. None of them has an International Passport.

There's nothing new in all those things they mentioned.

Access/GTB and other banks have been doing all these for years.

Raise the wailing to uncontrollable.

The unnecessary banks charges that generates your minimum wage

ogugwa1992:
This na correct move! Finally, I no need waka come Naija just to open account. CBN, una try well well!

and you don't need to stress yourself before sending money to us 😂

God bless Tinubu and his team.
In addition government should allow people to bring into the country personal property, duty free. Emphasis on personal property. No more than 2 vehicles for personal use, not commercial.
That will help a lot.

My honest opinion about this? Too much talk, very little substance. There are too many fintech apps that already provide money transfer services with zero transfer fees. Banks already offer diaspora banking services for like ages now. Nothing new here, more of a smoke screen to create the impression of a novel achievement.

All I see is a trap for diaspora funds
Better to continue using the likes of Lemfi, Simless other fintechs etc to get funds to the needy back home because this CBN is just as reliable as PHCN

Exactly.
What they should be working on is how to link international credit scores to Nigeria so that Nigerian banks can base on that to give loans, credit, and credit cards. They'd be reporting to credit bureaus so that if you default or pay late it'll be reported to credit bureaus and it will affect your credit.
That's where the real money is

I surprised to see people hailing this move as innovative. People are transacting with banks from all over the world. This government and their gimmicks.
